As I’ve discussed previously Apple filed to intervene in the Lodsys Patent Troll attack on 3rd party Apple developers. As I predicted the courts have allowed Apple to do just that - it only took 9 months or so. Of course the actual verdicts in the lawsuit will still take a long time to be resolved and this is just another step. App Developers who are currently under attack from Lodsys can at least breathe a little easier now knowing that Apple is at the crease and ready to ready to bat.
